Check out this article posted Tuesday on School Library Journal's website. It examines the findings of a recent survey that looked at student comprehension when reading Ebooks and print books. As more schools move towards introducing Ebooks into the classroom, the findings of surveys like this become increasingly relevant to student success.

You may have noticed that exciting things are happening in the Earl Beatty Playground!

After the meetings and discussions in December, it was decided to reconfigure the playground to maximize play space and safety! The reconfiguration was decided on in consultation with EBSAC, Board experts, the school administration, the School Trustee, and the school superintendent. We hope that with these changes students will continue to have a safe place to play, exercise, and have fun!

This week at the City of Toronto Budget Committee Meeting, the report
which recommended drawing $2.5 M from the under-estimated assessment revenue of
$8.8M to fund student nutrition and 12 community centres was approved. That
means we WILL have programming at our community centre for the foreseeable
future. THANK YOU to everyone who pushed so hard to support our centre and keep
its programmes open. This is GREAT NEWS and helps to keep our school and community vital and relevant to all! And don't forget to support our local community centre so we can prove to the government this was a good decision to make.

Not such great news is that GA Brown's pool is still at risk. You can show support for GA Brown Pool by joining in a pool-less
outdoor swim, BBQ, and indoor pool swim on Saturday Jan 14th, noon to 3 at GA
Brown. Noon to 1 - outside, 1 -3 free leisure swim.
